Since its founding in 1977, Shoal Creek Club in Birmingham, Alabama, has been a place that has attracted attention.
It immediately caught the eye of the golf world for its championship-ready Jack Nicklaus designed course, hosting the 1984 PGA Championship and U.S. Amateur in 1986. Four years later, the PGA of America tapped Shoal Creek as the venue again, this time for the 1990 PGA Championship, catapulting the course onto the national and international radar.
